MARSHALL AND THE Young DEsPERA-
Do.-John G.. Breckenridge used to narrate
some interesting anecdotes about revolu-
tionary veteran named Humphrey Mar
shall, who was six feet two in height, with
a commanding presence, an eagle eye ana
great devotion to the good old fellow
He WAS for many years member OF the
State Legislature, and was Senator in Con-
gress from 1906 to 1901. Just before the
war of 1912 he made himself especially OBJ
noxious to the Democrats by denouncing
their determination to involve the country
in a war with Great Britain, and Governor
Scott declared that he would pardon any
man who would shoot him. A young TEL
low to whom Marshall had in some way
given offence, declared that he would un-
dertake the job the next court day; and
when that time came, crowd, including
Gov. Scott, was on hand to witness the
days sport. About noon Marshall rode into
town on horseback, got his mail at the post
office, transacted some business at the Court
House, mounted and started for his horne.
The young desperate, we'll fortified with
whisky, was on hand, and galloping after
him he presented his pistol and cried !:
"Halt! 1 mean to kill YOU" Marshall
rened up his nag and very cooly remarked:
"Kill me, eh! But you don't mean to as.
sassinate me" "No! replied the sprig of
chivalry, taking another pistol from his
breast pocket, there is a pistol for you !;
take it and defend yourself" Marshall
took the profered weapon, and with a
quick blow from it knocked the young fel-
lows pistol from his hand, then cooking
the pistol given him, the old hero shouted: :
"Now dash you, turn around and walk
your horse to the Court House door,"
The subdued beligerent knew that his life
depended upon his obedience, and he re-
turned crestfallen amid the cheers of the
assembled crowd. When they reached the
court house Marshall said: "NoW 60 and
drink Tom Jefferson's health; it's all you
are good for" And with graceful bow
he again started homeward.-Ben: Perley

THE GIFT OF HUMoR.-The next fault
to gossiping is the exercise of humor, and
it may be doubted whether this gift to
a child at birth is good or an evil one.
The child thus gifted can hardly reach an
eminence at anything-if he has had it his
career is barred in many directions. When
a man has both earnestness and humor in
great measure the latter is always tripping
him up. He will always be perplexing or
offending his associates who are too dense
to understand him. Humor makes more
enemies for man than friends, for what
is not understood seems hostile and danger
Gus. After long life, full of various ex-
perience, we have found that but few per-
sons can take joke, and particularly when
told with seriousness natural to one given
to humor or the expression of jokes.

CATTI,E NEEDING.

Prof. G. f. Morrow, after experimenting
year after year, comes to the following con-
clusion concerning feeding cattle in the TO-
cality where he is situated, namely, Central
Illinois.
/. Increase of weight in cattle is most
cheaply secured by pasturage, without any
grain during the best part of the season.
2. Feeding whole corn in the autumn
months to cattle on the pasture is the most
economical method of fattening cattle.
The feeding is done with the least labor.
When hogs follow the cattle there is very
little waste. The manure is all saved, and
distributed without cost. While cornpara-
lively low prices are to be expected for cat
tie marketed in the autumn or early winter,
a fair profit has been made annually. Even
with the prevailing exceptionally low prices,
sales have been made of most of the cattle
purchased last spring at price which gives
fairly satisfactory profit.
8. After three or four months of full grain
feedinga considerable degree in rate of gain
may be expected.
4. Apparently, from 80 to sc months are
the most profitable ages at which to sell cat
tie fattened on this system-unless those of
a little greater age can be bought at price
which gives no profit to the grower.
S. 1t is not profitable to feed grain to
yealling steers on good pasture, If it is de-
signed to keep them another year and fatten
for the general market.
6. Calves reared on skim milk, with the
addition of some meal, may make entirely
satisfactory growth and beef animals of
good quality. A high grade Short-horn
steer, now on the farm, weighs 147O pounds,
at few days over % months, and with less
than two months full grain feeding. He
has gained 1S5 pounds in IS days.

AXIoMs FOR FARMERs.-We have fire.
quently deprecated the mortgage system,
the cribs and smoke-houses located in the
West, the neglect of the grasses in Cleve-
land, the want of compost heaps and of
economy in home manures, until the sub.
jects have become trite. We condense the
following axioms for farmers guidance:
l. The man who for ten years mortgages
his crops for supplies becomes poorer every
year, yet he continues the suicidal policy.
This is like Sisyphus rolling the stone up to
the mountain top daily, yet the stone ever
fell back to the base.
9. The farmer who buys corn for ten sue
cessive years will die poor and in debt, the
habitual corn buyer gets poorer every. year.
3. Mortgaging your farm for supplies in
creases idleness and extravaganza, and often
robs in few years your family of home.
1. Diversified crops with intensive system
of farming, homemade corn and bacon,
good home crop of manure with small guam
tity of guano bring to the farmer happiness
and wealth. Mortgages, excessive use OF
commercial fertilizers and the one-crop idea
bring want and poverty. y.-Shelby Awora.
Yorkville enquirer. [volume] (Yorkville, S.C.) 1855-2006, 1887-03-09

FARM AND GARDEN NoTEs.-Apply long
strawy manure to heavy soils, to render
them open and porous.
It will pay to pile the manure year be-
fore it is used, turning it about twice and
keeping it moist
Interest is like an open faucet to the mo-
lasses barrel. The molasses will run out
slowly; but it will all get out.
If the compost heap is unsightly it may
be built up at "the far end" of the stable
yard, and refuse matter thrown on the heap
will help to increase its value.
If farmer will take care not to purchase
what he cannot use, or has little need for,
he will soon learn that it is poor economy
for him to buy anything but the best.
Breeding stock should not be pampered,
but be kept in thrifty condition, and not
allowed to "run down." They need mus
Gle rather than fat, as the latter always
means loss of energy, if not of health and
vigor.
A fruit grower says that in his opinion the
peach tree should be kept headed in, not
thinned out, for best fruit yields. AS sure
as the tree grows tall, spindling limbs, so
sure the fruit becomes small and imperfect.
In the autumn he cuts trees at least half of
all the new growth. He don't advocate
thinning out the branches of the peach tree,
but approves of thinning out the fruit to in
duce yield of fine. large peaches.

THE SUwANEE RIvER.-Once over the
bar at it's entrance from the gulf the
Suwanee river holds its way with a deep
current, in places of forty feet, far up through
the forests of the best hard pine in the
State. 1t is the Penobscot of Florida 1t
has some good land upon it where planta-
tions have heretofore been made, but after
a while generally abandoned: The: mos
quitoes and malaria guard in the main en-
trance against others than lumbermen, ang-
lers, and intrusive tourists. This dark
river has, too, its romance as being the
place which gave rise to melody which,
like "Sweet Home," the affections Of the
heart will never let 60. For it was here
that French family in the time of Louis
XIV came over and settled upon the
Suwanee and made a plantation. After
while the father and mother and all
died save one daughter, who, disheartened
and desolate, returned to France and there
wrote, adopting in part that negro dialect,
which she had been familiar with on the
plantation in her girlhood, a feeling tribute
to the "old folks at nome" in their graves
in the far off country.

HEALTHFULNEss OF RUNNING WATER.
Rapid flowing waters seem more living and
healthful than those of sluggish streams,
but there is much illusion in this appear
ance. If they get more exposure to oxida-
tion, they also get less time for it. If the
slow stream leaves more organic deposits
in it's bed, it is because it has more time and
repose for settling and less force for carry
ing the dirt with it. The bed Of the swift
stream is clean at the expense OF cleanness
in the water that scours it; just as the
washed dish is cleaner than the dish water.
The only valid reason for preferring the
water of rapid stream, quantities being
equal, would be position more elevated
and less exposed to surface drainage. En-
gineers calculate that the carrying power OF
water increases as the sixth power Of the
increase of velocity, so that a stream flow
ing six times as fast as another will be able
to transport 46, $50 times more matter. Con-
sequently, if pollution be discharged into into
a lively flowing stream, it will have very
little chance of being dropped from the
water at all.-Gicago Times.

THE GRIP OF HABIT.-If the period be-
tween twenty and thirty is the critical one
in the formation of intellectual and pro-
fessional habits, the period below twenty
is more important still for the fixing of per-
sonal habits, properly SO called, such as
vocalization and pronunciation, gesture,
motion and address. Hardly ever is q Ian
guage learned after twenty spoken without
a foreign accent; hardly ever can youth,
transferred to the society of his betters un-
learn the nasality and other vices of speech
bred in him by the associations of his grow
ing years. Hardly ever, indeed, no mat
ter how much money there may be in his
pocket, can he ever learn to dress like a
gentleman born. The merchants offer their
wares as eagerly to him as to the verlest
''swell," but he simply can't buy the right
things. An invisible law, as strong, as
gravitation, keeps him within his orbit,
arrayed this year as he was last; and how
his aristocratic acquaintance contrive to
get the things they wear, will be Tor him
a mystery till his dying day.
THE RANK AND FILE WIN THE BAT
TLEs.-Toistoi, in his "War and Peace" de-
nies that battles can be fought on elaborate
prearranged plans. He asserts that while
miles separate the chief from subordinate
Generals, they must fight according to
emergencies, often in direct opposition to
original orders that the battle once hotly
commenced, it is the men themselves (often
a single regiment) that decide the fortunes
of the day that mere chance, an accident
may do it; that staff officers often sneak
when carrying orders into the thick of the
fight, refuse to go under fire, and return and
report from hearsay and guesswork; that the
quick fluctuations of great battle prevent
the distant chief from getting news and act,
ing on it before there is complete reversal
of affairs-in fact, that a fight once on is
mainly grand scrimmage decided largely
by the staying qualities of the men who
hold and use the guns-the rank and file.
